Flyhalf Dan Carter has made the All Blacks touring squad that will travel to Argentina and South Africa over the next fortnight.

Carter is still nursing a calf injury that kept him out of New Zealand’s home fixtures against Argentina and the Springboks. Head coach Steven Hansen will be hoping his star playmaker will recover in time to face South Africa in Soweto on 7 October.

The All Blacks have also added two other flyhalves to the squad in Aaron Cruden and Beauden Barrett, who will provide enough cover in case Carter fails to return to match fitness.
